Deep cleaning a TB housing

[bigmuddy]

Anybody have any tips on deep cleaning a Throttle body housing? My initial thoughts was to dunk it in some carb cleaner solution overnight but maybe that's to aggressive? maybe some spray TB cleaner and a green scotch pad?

It's usual but the outside looks like hell and am hoping to clean it and then maybe a light polish?

Try Simple Green and a brush for the exterior.

Take the tps sensor off and clean it in the sink with whatever you want. Soft bristle brush and some dish soap as long as you rinse extra well a few times over.

Compressed air and sun dry and then maybe the inside with some parts cleaner or the like to be sure.

I would probably pull the TPS and drop it in the ultrasonic bath. That is what I use to clean up boat carbs.

I’d get pretty clean in one of those too! (Sorry, had to ). Great idea, but guessing that like me, he doesn’t have one of those! I bet it would work great though.

Ooooh hey thats a winner, I have an ultrasonic bath and it has worked wonder for a lot of small parts I don't know why I didn't think of this!

On the contrary I do have one. I would actually like to have a larger one but the bigger ones never seemed to follow me home
